About this spot
This spot sits within the Mojave River Dam basin near Hesperia, at the spillway where Deep Creek meets the West Fork Mojave River. The submitted coordinates pointed to Hesperia Lake Park, several miles north; the actual jump pool is at the dam's outlet works, confirmed by satellite imagery. Reported jumps run roughly 35 to 45 feet, with a horizontal limb sometimes used for cherry-drop moves, and water reportedly holds near 80 degrees in season. Access requires crossing U.S. Army Corps of Engineers property that is fenced, posted "No Trespassing," and explicitly not authorized for swimming; rangers have run active citation sweeps here. Treat any visit as trespassing with real enforcement risk, and confirm current water levels before assuming a pool is present.
